Children ages 0-12 years old are invited to register for summer reading in the children’s room of the main library or at the MacKay branch.  You can begin counting the time you spend reading as soon as you register.

Record the time you spend reading stories, or finding information in books. Listening to someone else read also counts.  We want to encourage adults to read to children from the day they are born.

If one child reads to another child, that counts on both their logs!

Reading for 12.5 hours fills up a log.  I know many of you can fill up more than one log.  Bring each log to the Main Library or the MacKay branch when you are finished.  We will give you coupons for discounts at area sponsors, and you will get a ticket to take a chance on our raffle jars.

Thank you to the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the Boston Bruins, and especially the Chelmsford Friends of the Library.
